Amina Davidson, 16, for Edinburgh. <br />
<br />
My life in Edinburgh is quite boring. I don't really like living here and would rather live on Skye. There is more music up there and its quieter, near the sea so more fun.  I play traditional music, the fiddle and the accordion, and up there we played at a  ceilidh until it got light. I go busking on Saturday afternoons when I am in Glasgow for the junior conservatoire. <br />
<br />
I'm into my final year at school and then I want to go up to the college to study Gaelic and music and hope to be a professional musician in Gaelic media or broadcasting. I don't want to be stuck down here. My friends up there want to move to Edinburgh for me its the opposite. I want to vote Yes mainly because of traditional music and the arts funding. <br />
<br />
Most of my friends aren't bothered but the ones who are bothered are going to vote 'Yes' just because you want a change. The teachers don't really talk to us about it at school, they want to remain unbiased so don't speak about it. Some teachers wear their 'Yes' badges to school.<br />
<br />
At 16, we are trusted to move out, to get married and have children so why not have a decision on what the country can do in future? No matter what happens I hope there will continue to be funding for BBC Alba and Gaelic services.
